Fallen hiker rescued on Striding Edge
A hiker has been winched to safety after falling 30ft from Striding Edge in the Lake District.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) volunteers were called to the man, in his 50s, at about 12:45 BST on Thursday.
A coastguard helicopter was scrambled because of the steep location and a paramedic was lowered down to the injured walker.
A rope system was set up by MRT volunteers and the man was winched onto the ridge where he was given medical treatment and pain relief before he was flown to hospital.
Patterdale MRT leader Mike Ripon said: “This was a difficult and technical rescue due to the location and nature of the man's injuries, and our thanks go to the Coastguard and Helimed 58 for their quick response.”
